§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Employment what study he has made of the number of firms in 1975 which operated an eight-day holiday from Christmas to the New Year; and if he will initiate discussions with the TUC and CBI aimed at obtaining further progress towards a general holiday entitlement of at least four weeks including a holiday week covering the period from Christmas to the New Year.
§ Mr. BoothIt seems no more timely now than when my hon. Friend asked a similar Question last year to pursue proposals for a substantial increase in general holiday entitlement, and no such study has been made.
